Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if the incidence of Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD) after non-myeloablative transplantation can be reduced by using a combination of three immune suppressive medication; sirolimus, tacrolimus and methotrexate.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- To assess the effect on the incidence and severity of GVHD by adding sirolimus, tacrolimus and methotrexate to GVHD prophylaxis.
| Estimated Enrollment: | 105 |
| Study Start Date: | July 2002 |
| Study Completion Date: | April 2003 |
| Primary Completion Date: | April 2003 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
- Patients will be admitted to the hospital and receive chemotherapy and stem cell transplant(SCT). The total duration of hospitalization for the procedure is approximately 8 days. Once admitted the patient will receive fludarabine daily for 4 days, busulfex once daily for 4 days. Two days after chemotherapy has ended, the patient will receive the infusion of donor cells.
- Just prior to the transplant and following the transplant, patients will receive sirolimus (orally), tacrolimus (orally) and low doses of methotrexate (chemotherapy). Methotrexate will be given on days 1,3 and 6 after transplant.
- Sirolimus will be tapered beginning week 9 after transplant if there is no evidence of GVHD and will be eliminated on week 26 if clinically feasible.
- Tacrolimus will be tapered beginning week 9 after transplant if there is no evidence of GVHD and will be eliminated on week 26 if clinically feasible.
- Patients will also receive medication to help prevent possible infection.
- After stem cell infusion, patients will be examined and have blood tests weekly for 1 month. At the 1 month visit, a bone marrow biopsy will performed looking for evidence of donor cells in the bone marrow. After the one month evaluation the patient will be examined every 2 weeks and a repeat bone marrow performed 3-4 months after transplant.
